I saw the Kinks live about a half-dozen times, and they were all great shows.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 22, 2009 -> 01:39 PM) Played piano from very young through college, trombone/bass trombone from very young through college as well. Used to be able to play any bass cleff brass instrument at least passably. I've gotten to play on the same stage as some big names in jazz and classical - very fortunate. Playing lead trombone in orchestras, I had to be able to read bass, treble, tenor and alto cleffs. Always hated that crap. Damn Mozart. Very cool! Do you do any community band playing or anything to keep your chops up?

Each wet, slobbering human mouth on that show cracked me up. Space Angel too.

Coast to Coast, that Space Ghost.

Zorak would have eaten Space Ghost if he ever got the chance.

Teach, you're going to grow to hate Sunday mornings because that means Monday is right around the corner.

I haven't played much for the last 8-10 years, sadly. Had to stop playing out once two young kids got too be too much of a handful to leave my wife with a couple times a week. Past college I did almost no playing with full bands other than one-shot deals at parties and such. Played much more consistently in a couple of acoustic duo settings and for about a four year stretch we played 1 or 2 bar gigs a week. Lots of fun, and I miss it quite a bit. Our sound was always "refreshingly under-rehearsed," but it would have been way to much effort to do any better than that. The guy I mainly played with was an older guy and was a professional musician in DC for 20 years before he got sick of it and went back to school where I met him. Amazing player, and I quite enjoyed riding on his coattails.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 21, 2009 -> 06:37 PM) Me too! I bought one a few years ago as a reminisce because I had a school horn when I played and never owned one. I realized then how long ago high school really was. Could you read bass cleff? As a converted trumpet player I could only read treble cleff, so either a chart had to already be transposed or I had to rewrite them in treble. Only had to do that a couple times.

Guitar primarily. Played trumpet and euphonium (baritone horn) in school and can still play fair to middling. Passable bass, and remedial fiddle and 5 string banjo.

Camping in 4 days — yippie!

Thanks for including the "27 Club" factoid for Morrison in the doors write-up. Peter Ham of Badfinger, Pigpen from the Grateful Dead, and Chris Bell of Big Star also all cached it in at 27. There was a rock critic a while back who looked at it statistically and it's uncanny how many rockers died at 27.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 20, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) That Elvis one took nearly an hour by itself. Too many hits in his discography. The Beatles one is going to kill me, I'm sure. Wow, then I guess I won't b**** about you skipping the '61-66 Hollywood years and all the craptacular Paramount films.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Nov 20, 2009 -> 09:22 PM) Yeah I just typed it wrong I think. I got confused because you accept the null and reject the alternative but the wording of the last sentence of the paragraph threw me off. I was taught that you double the P-value by my professor, so maybe doubling the P-value accomplishes the same thing as halving the significance level(Alpha)? I don't think so (or at least I can't logically see how). If you are setting the significance threshold (alpha) at 0.01, then that means that only 1 percent of the population distribution balls in that rejection area — hence, your chance of getting a statistically significant result merely by chance (Type 1 error) is only 1 in 100. In a one-tailed test, the whole 0.01% of the bell curve is located at one end of the distribution or another. In a two-tailed test, that 1% rejection area has to be split to cover both ends of the distribution. Since there is now only a 1 in 200 chance now of obtaining a significant result by chance, the threshold table P-value has to be less than for a 1-tailed test and not more. The calculated F-value from the means comparison has to be correspondingly greater to achieve an effective alpha of 0.005. None of that is to say I'm not impressed by how quickly you're picking this stuf up, because I am. All in all, I'm with Barbie and SSMike on this. Math is hard — Let's go shopping!

Voluminous verbosity, mon.
